Plant-based diets: Not always a free choice for rural adultsNARA Subscribed
Illegal wildlife trade is accelerating rates of biodiversity loss and undermining conservation. Crime scripting systematically details the crime commission process, informs prevention activities, and is usually based on experts’ perspectives. We conducted community-based crime scripting of pangolin scale trade in Cameroon, July–December 2024 in 22 communities in Cameroon ( n = 152 participants). Using NVivo 15.1.1 for analysis...
Purpose National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) teams are expected to collect data to describe their catchment area’s cancer burden. University of Iowa Health Care Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center employed a mixed-methods approach to describe rural–urban differences. Methods We conducted descriptive analyses of cancer registry data to characterize cancer incidence, mortality...
Planktonic response to pulse or continuous inorganic nutrient inputs: temporal variations and monitoring implicationsNARA Subscribed
Coastal lagoons are dynamic systems where the mode of nutrient input, continuous or pulsed, or a combination, can significantly affect plankton community structure and function. We conducted a spring field microcosm experiment in a Mediterranean lagoon to evaluate how three nutrient delivery regimes influence planktonic dynamics, using biomass measurements and extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) as functional indicators. Conti...
Background Aspects of the gut microbiome, including presence of specific bacterial species and overall community structure, have been linked to the etiology and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Less is known about the epidemiologic risk factors that are associated with the composition of the microbiota in invasive colorectal tumors. Methods Using tumor and paired normal colorectal tissue samples from a subset of participa...
Cancer Risk and Mortality Following Kaposi Sarcoma Among People with HIV in the United States, 2000 to 2019NARA Subscribed
People with HIV (PWH) have increased Kaposi sarcoma (KS) risk. Among 2,645 PWH with KS in the United States HIV/AIDS Cancer Match Study, subsequent cancer risk was elevated 2.8-fold (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.4–3.3) compared to PWH without KS. Mortality after KS declined 2000–2002 and 2012–2015 (hazard ratio = 0.64; 95%CI: 0.55–0.74).
Fungal Microbiome‐Metabolome Relationships in Sphagnum and Two Co‐Occurring Alaskan MossesNARA Subscribed
In boreal and tundra ecosystems, mosses are abundant and ecologically important members of the vegetation due to their ability to insulate permafrost and maintain soil moisture. Mosses also harbour diverse bacterial and fungal symbionts that can provide nutrients and protection against environmental stressors. Sphagnum mosses are particularly important due to their significant role in carbon sequestration, which has been attri...
Inorganic nutrient input effects and severity of disturbance in zooplankton community structureNARA Subscribed
Mediterranean coastal lagoons are increasingly affected by nutrient enrichment from both natural and anthropogenic sources. While most studies focus on total nutrient loads, little is known about how the mode of nutrient delivery, pulsed or continuous, affects plankton community dynamics. This study aimed to experimentally test how different nutrient input regimes influence zooplankton community structure and plankton biomass...
